St. Barbara of Nicomedia is the patroness of the mission.
There is no patron saint of Santa. However, Santa is loosely based on the real life Bishop St. Nicholas of Myra.
The Mission was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, and was named in honor of Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr of the fourth century. The Spanish for Agnes is Ines, hence the name of the church; the American Yankees anglicized the spelling of the Spanish pronunciation and named the town Santa Ynez.
The patron saint of running water is St. John Nepomucene
